Someone on Spells of Magic asked what they could do to help with their anxiety and depression while casting spells/meditating. This was my reply:
'I, too, have anxiety and depression (among other things). One centering meditation that I use is I visualize myself as a pack of tarot cards and each card is an aspect of myself. I work with various versions of myself, so having a card sticking out is necessary at times. To center, I shuffle the cards and make sure the deck is lined up and in order. If I need, I visualize myself with a certain card on top of the deck, depending on what I need for the day. Want prosperity? I pull up a pentacles/coins card. Need courage and ability to fight something off? I pull up a swords card. '
